one of 399’s members made a solid state tesla coil and made a 399 breakout point for plasma
That is very cool, it would look even better at night without other light sources.
Very creative. How about a 399-shaped neon/fluorescent tube?
Yes, that would be very original!
we now just need a neon shop to sponsor us 
Thats my SSTC! and I was thinking the same thing with the neon sign!
(I just don’t have money to blow on custom neon! lol)
Thanks for posting it Justin!
sweet nixies!!!
i wish it was easier to get nixies nowadays… but it;s getting harder to find them since they’re all getting snapped up by collectors!
They haven’t all been bought up…we saw two huge boxes of them at a surplus store last month, $4 per tube (slightly used)
I did a bit of research to find out what a nixie is.(pretty cool by the way for others that don’t know) I found out Steve Wozniak has a nixie watch. Thought I’d share that with everyone.
PS: Sorry for derailing this thread even further.
Its ok it’s all in the spirit of High Voltage and science!
Oh and for those that do not know sstc stands for: Solid State Tesla Coil

trivia…did you know my brother made the Woz’s nixie watch(es)?
As I did last year here is a new vid with better coils and music that fits this years robot theme so here it is some Wizard of OZ theme music played on my 2 Musical Tesla Coils.
